There is nothing I hate more than breaking one of my beautiful nails. Starting the growth process from scratch is no fun at all. Having even strong nails is very simple by following a few simple steps.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Nail Glue or Crazy Glue
  • Toilet Paper 1 Swatch
  • A Nail File
  • Clear Polish or your favorite color
  • Toothpick
  1. Step 1

    Wash and dry your hands to clear the damaged nail of any particles.

  2. Step 2

    Tear a tiny piece of the toilet paper. Just enough to cover the break and a little beyond for security. Basically if you were to circle the break that's how much you will use of the toilet paper. Trust me this works I've been doing it for years and I have long beautiful nails.

  3. Step 3

    Set the toilet paper piece to the side. Then glue the nail back together. Once the nail is dry file it smooth. Apply a second coat of glue, only this time lay your toilet paper on top until it soaks to a clear color. Use the toothpick to do any adjusting. Let it dry. Add another coat of glue and dry again.

  4. Step 4

    Once the glue is dry file and shape the nail to your liking. Then apply a clear coat of polish or your favorite color for the finishing touch.

Tips & Warnings
  • If the tear is large add additional glue underneath the nail.
  • Take the toilet paper slightly over the edge of the side of the nail to ensure complete closure of the break or tear.
  • Don't use too much glue, use the glue sparingly and don't not get on hands or clothing
